Ihave visited numerous contries and have seen very dignified programs. In none of the places, which are reasonably graceful, you can find such kissings. It was not kissing nor show of affection, a bizzare expression by a lowly actor for a lowly actor in the name of expression of freedom.
If you urinate in public, it does not show sophistication, even in some parts of the world it could be common.

You really seem frustrated.... The kiss was really funny... not even passionate one nor vulgar....there was laugh all around....
Stop moral policing..... if you have morals keep it with you.
What will you do if a group of men attack you just because you are wearing sleveless T shirt... you may call it ok dress i call it cheap exposure....
where moral policing starts and where it end no one knows.....
Let adults be adults..... Shilpa and Gere will lose fans if they did something wrong.....
Police and courts should focus on real cases not silly incidents....

Right said Hitesh. But no point in lecturing people like Hemang, these morons are in the majority. Liberal, cool, independent-minded, forward thinking people who believe in live and let live are few in this country.

Indian culture cannot be imposed... It has to be accepeted by your own free will... I dont think the youth of today blindly follows western culture... I can see them celebrating as much in Dewalli as in New Years... And what Indian culture are you talking about... If I remember correctly we gave the world the Kama Sutra...
Just realize the fact that people are having a more global outlook now... So they themselves are mature enough to decide whether to kiss in public or wear ghungat... Who are we to file cases against them???????!!!!!!!!!

dear mitra sir,
indian culture is best culture in the world & only this culture has a clear view about what should be do in public & what should be in private place.
if u think the indian youth have a balance mind & can do the right decision then please go through the news & current affairs.
only 1% of indian youth use their mind and others follow blindly western culture on the name of freedom i.e. rave parties, dancing & drinking in bars etc.
KS is a significant book for making relation with your partner in house not in public.

Morals are learnt starting from childhood by mother(moral Police),Father(Moral police)and by teachers(moral Police),if anybody dont have morals,he is not a good son,good student and good citizen and dead for society.if u cant behave well u dont expect from others also.Right heroes.

How come the moral keepers dont object to eve teasing and vulgar comments made to women ? or when acid is thrown on girls faces is acid ever thrown on boys faces by girls ? This is trivial issue and finally the SC has put the lid on it and brought a end. Yes the moral keepers also have the knack of bringing in sisters and mothers into reference - are they your sisters and mother then ? If yes then protect them from the many strocicities and dowry deaths and rapes which happen including "Sati" which is allowed to be glorified.

jobless idiots they r actors & in movies they perform more than this in front of camera with atleast few of the unit guys/gals watching...
RE:Three cheers for India
by vamsi nori on May 15, 2007 01:55 PM
You sound like a frustrated soul, wishing you were in the place of the unit boys when they are performing more than this in front of camera. Ha Ha Ha. Was such a comment necessary? Isn't movies a profession? Why disrespect that profession by commenting in such a way. After all we all go to movies. That is the only entertainment mode available to us on a daily basis.
RE:RE:Three cheers for India

I totally agree.
Hey you moral guardians, first get the people who corrupt this nation. Get the politicians who are putting this country to shame!! and ... i would like to know if any of the guys who made a big issue out of this go to the theaters or watch movies. Dumb Dumb Dumb !!
I think the SC has used common sense which is most uncommon in the so called moral guardians.I think the self appointed moral guardians and the fellow who filed such a PIL should be brought to book. He is a lawyer from Jaipur who is short of business and has no cases to fight for. This is a lesson for ABVP and RSS by the SC that such bizzare and absurd litigations will not be entertained. And if they are so much bothered, then ask them what have they done for AIDS and the society to fight against this disease? Thanks to SC for taking a pragmatic view.
RE:SC Stay on Shilpa
by Astro San on May 15, 2007 01:58 PM
Excellent point Tapan. What is wrong about Richard Gere kissing Shilpa. She never objected to it as it was a public function..Richard has been working so much in India for AIDS and our politicians have not done enything except burn effigies and break furniture in Lok sabha..
Either Supreme Court is jobless or Supreme Court is looking for cheap publicity to look into this worthless case . I have seem better kisses than that in Television ,nobody wants to talk about that .
Supreme Court ... CONGRATULATIONS on such a stay... Can the respected SC also bring the so called Moral gaurdians and punish them so severely that they will forget talibanisation of India and making a mockery of India.
well done Supreme court - also please come out with an ordinance that such type of stupid matters cannot be entertained by the court, unless one of the person involved has a complaint, which will be handed by the lowest court of India... It would have been shame for us to hear and read that SUPREME COURT OF INDIA is hearing the case of public kissing of an actress...thank God, you the sensible SC saved us from this insult.
RE:welldone SC
by vamsi nori on May 15, 2007 01:43 PM
See, Supreme Court has to hear to the two sides before admitting the case. this is a procedure that it has to follow. So no point in blaming Supreme court for that. It is helpless. If the arguments are strong then ti has to admit the case. It can't write off the case, just because it is trivial. Even the judge as an individual knows that it is a wastage of time but as a judge he is tied up to rules and procedures. Just pity the judges who would have ot bear discussions on this issue inspite of their reluctance.

Technical (legislative)issue. Hi Anusha, Can Supreme Court come out with an ordinance. If yes then fine they should if no, then I guess it will be our Hon MPs who will have to pass the ordinance. Having said that, this is never going to happen. Cheers PG

Prabhu - sorry for the error...if not Ordinance, may be a stricture or verdict or a ruling...whatever that may be ...
Ultra quick stay for such issues while all other important issues takes decades to resolve hope same rapid judgement also given to other national issues concerning common man
the courts should not waste their time on all this nonsense values Mr.gere is a foreigner and the scene what he has done is a common thing in the west and as for shilpa she is popular in UK and not india and both of them were doing good cause. such complainants will take us back to the 150 years back stop this nonsenseon celebrities
RE:nonsense
by balaji sankaran on May 15, 2007 01:44 PM
Gepl, Agreed they were doing that for good cause. But my doubt is, why doesn't Shilpa or Gere kiss a person who has Aids? Do they have the courage?
RE:RE:nonsense
by GEPL on May 15, 2007 01:50 PM
definitely they will do it even i am social worker and i dont mind hugging leprosy people or the person having aids and primarily they dont do this for getting financial supports they are doing good job the place they were addressing a rally were of truck drivers can anyone imagine a life of truck drivers most unorganised sector in india
